Thanks for all the input. These two gliders do know each other and play pretty well together - not often, but when we see each other we let them play and they don't fight much. They chirp at each other and groom each other. Does this change anything?

: Kim, personally, I think that they LOVE to have other gliders nearby. When I had a lone male he would sit for 15 -20 minutes and watch the glider family next to him. Very sweet glider. His brother would go off the walls if he saw (smelled?) another male glider screaming and body slamming.
: Yet, I have tried to put myself in their place. If I were held captive by giant gliders . . . It would make me feel safer to see and hear another human nearby.
: I do think each glider is different but that it will do no harm to put the gliders cages in the same room. Maybe after vacation thses two can socialize the two gliders regularly so they become buddies.
